1998 Gold Proof Four Krugerrand South African Coin Set
Limited edition 22 carat gold proof 1998 four-coin Krugerrand set: available now. The first Krugerrands were issued by the South African Mint in 1967, produced with gold produced by The Rand Refinery. The appearance and name of these coins comes from the historic coinage of the South African Republic. The obverse shows a portrait of Paul Kruger, the Boer statesman, designed in the 1890s by Otto Schultz. Kruger gives his name to these coins, compounded with Rand, the South African unit of currency. The reverse of these coins show the instantly recognisable springbok, together with the date. This design is also historic, created by C L Steynberg. The original Krugerrand was a 1oz bullion coin. Fractional versions and proof editions, aimed at collectors, came later. This 1998 four-coin set features a 'full' 1oz Krugerrand, a 1/2oz Krugerrand, a 1/4oz Krugerrand and a 1/10oz Krugerrand, all struck to proof standard in 22 carat (916.7) gold. These coins are offered in their original capsules inside a red leather SA Mint box. A numbered certificate of authenticity is enclosed, confirming that this is one of just 500 sets issued in 1998.
